South Aussie Rise

"South Aussie Rise"
South Aussie Rise is the first of my artistic trout fishing photographs. I hope to grow a series of work based on the magic that is experienced while fly fishing for these wonderful fish. I hope you all enjoy this image, and the others as I share them as the series slowly grows. This photograph was taken with my new Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the M.Zuiko Digital 12-40mm f2.8 PRO lens. I never ended up reviewing my Canon EOS 1Dx cameras on here, or any of the amazing L series lenses that I use with them because I decided after use that they are just not really practical for most fishing photography. The Olympus offers up exceptional image quality in a relatively tiny package. It certainly won't replace my Canon gear for my more serious work, but I suspect that as far as what's on the market now, the OM-D E-M1 is possibly my ideal fishing and travel camera, and possibly the one to take to Flywater X!
